mapreduce segment generator generates  50 % less  than excepted urls
--------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: NUTCH-136
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-136
     Project: Nutch
        Type: Bug
    Versions: 0.8-dev    
    Reporter: Stefan Groschupf
    Priority: Critical


We notice that segments generated with the map reduce segment generator 
contains only 50 % of the expected urls. We had a crawldb with 40 000 urls and 
the generate commands only created a 20 000 pages segment. This also happened 
with the topN parameter, we everytime got around 50 % of the expected urls.

I tested the PartitionUrlByHost and it looks like it does its work. However we 
fixed the problem by changing two things:
First we set the partition to a normal hashPartitioner.
Second we changed Generator.java line 48:
limit = job.getLong("crawl.topN",Long.MAX_VALUE)/job.getNumReduceTasks();
to:
limit = job.getLong("crawl.topN",Long.MAX_VALUE);

Now it works as expected. 
Has anyone a idea what the real source of this problem can be?
In general this is bug has the effect that all map reduce users fetch only 50 % 
of it's urls per iteration.
